I would only make a movie that I believe in. If I didn't believe in it, it would be unworthy.

Luckily, I've never been offered a directing job that was lucrative. I've never heard, "Here's $800,000 to remake Sisters."

If Shakespeare had lived in our age, he would have been sued for writing Romeo And Juliet, because as everybody knows, he plagiarized that from an Italian play.

Comedy is not commercial; it is risky, because what is funny in one place isn't always funny somewhere else.

My favorite film is always the one that I most recently worked on.

I believe that independent film making is the last frontier of creative expression available. So I'm always willing to lend a helping hand to a young film maker who's just getting into the business.

I like fat people more then I like thin people, things are always a lot more funnier when they happen to fat people.
